After the 1260 to 1264 [[Toluid Civil War|succession war]] between [[Kublai Khan]] and his brother [[Ariq Böke]], Kublai's power became limited to the eastern part of the empire, centered on China. Kublai officially issued an imperial [[edict]] on 18 December 1271 to give the empire the [[Han Chinese|Han]]-style dynastic name of "Great Yuan" (''Dai Yuan'', or ''Dai Ön Ulus''; {{Zh|c={{Linktext|大|元}}|p=Dà Yuán}}) and to establish the [[Yuan dynasty]]. Some sources give the full Mongol name as ''Dai Ön Yehe Monggul Ulus''.{{Sfnp|Rybatzki|2009|page=116}}
